South Africa – Cape Town & the Winelands

  • Cape Town
  • Franschhoek

Introduction

Cape Town and Franschhoek make a great combination for a week in the Western Cape.

Cape Town has plenty to see and do, with a lively atmosphere, beautiful scenery and a wide choice of restaurants and experiences to explore. Franschhoek offers a slower pace, with excellent food, wine estates and a village setting.

This eight-day trip brings the two together, with four nights in Cape Town and three nights in Franschhoek, staying in comfortable boutique-style guesthouses.

Tours & Experiences

Breakfast is a relaxed start to the day at Ocean View House, and from then on, the day is yours to explore Cape Town, wander around Camps Bay or relax in the peaceful surroundings of the hotel.

Of the many places to visit in Cape Town, a trip to the Cape Peninsula is one of the highlights to plan for.  The journey follows the spectacular Atlantic coastline to Cape Point before continuing to Simon's Town to visit South Africa's famous penguins.

Other Cape Town highlights include the cable car ride or a hike up Table Mountain, a scenic helicopter flight along the coastline, ocean kayaking, free diving through the kelp forests, local craft markets, street art, museums and galleries, including the Zeitz MOCAA Museum, and an endless choice of coffee shops, restaurants and local foodie favourites.

Franschhoek

Day 5 - Day 7

Spectacular mountain scenery, fine hotels and guesthouses, three centuries of wine making, and many of South Africa’s top restaurants combine to make the Cape Winelands a retreat for relaxation and good food.

 

Franschhoek is one of the must-visit very pretty small towns in the area.

 

Tucked in between mountains, with a fine reputation of food and wine, and a history dating back to the arrival of the French Huguenots who settled here more than 300 years ago, Franschhoek is a favourite as a base to explore the region.

Lavender Farm Guesthouse is on a working lavender farm in the Franschhoek Valley, within a five-minute drive of the town centre. The lavender flowering season is usually between July and November, when the fields are in full purple bloom, filled with their distinctive fragrance. At other times of the year, although the fields are no longer in flower, the farm remains a peaceful setting with spacious rooms, beautiful views and a warm welcome.

There’s a choice of rooms, all ensuite, spacious and beautifully furnished, with views of either the garden, pool or lavender fields. The central areas include a breakfast room, and an outdoor pool with mountain and lavender views.

Lavender Farm Guesthouse is a good choice for comfortable boutique-style accommodation in a peaceful setting, while remaining close enough to Franschhoek and the surrounding wine estates to explore the area at your own pace.

Tours & Experiences

Lavender Farm Guesthouse is within a 5-minute drive from Franschhoek main street,  home of trendy Franschhoek eateries and some of South Africa's finest restaurants.  

During your stay here, explore the art galleries, boutique shops, take a day ride on the wine tram visiting estates in the region, cycle or e-bike through vineyards, and, for the motor enthusiasts, visit the Franschhoek Motor Museum.

Franschhoek offers far more than wine tasting, it's where days can be spent combining food, wine, scenery, outdoor activities and history, returning to Lavender Farm Guesthouse at the end of the day.
